samba - Mar 2008 - Re: cifs verses smbfs for Linux clients -time stamp issue

After mounting a windows share via cifs I have came across the same
issue as described here:

http://lists.samba.org/archive/samba/2006-April/119813.html

"While using vim on files mounted under CIFS, when trying to write an
existing file you will randomly be warned "The file has been changed
since reading it!!!".  Normally, this only occurs when another user
accesses and saves the between your opening and writing.  I can verify
this is not the case and is not/was not an issue for files mounted under
SMBFS.  I'm assuming there is a discrepancy between what the server
machine is telling the client is the last modification or access
date/time.
"

Is there an option for cifs that fixes this issue? This was on the
list back in 2006 I'm not sure why it is still the case in 2008?

Ideas?
Lucas

a) what version of cifs are you running? Outcome of "modinfo cifs".
b) what kind of operating system - *nix, windows or ... - is running
   on the remote box to which you connect via cifs?
In case you're mounting a remote samba server, are the "unix
extensions"
enabled?
